BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of food safety and immunological detection, in particular to a hybridoma cell line of secreting clarithromycin monoclonal antibodies and preparation method thereof.

2. Background Art

Cyproheptadine (CHP) belongs to macrolide antibiotic, which is the second generation of erythromycin. It has stability and strong sterilization ability which has the strong germicidal effect on most gram-positive bacteria, some gram-negative bacteria and some mycoplasma chlamydia. Therefore, CHP is widely used in the treatment of respiratory tract, wound, genitourinary system infection. As a result, many poor manufacturers illegally added the drug to the drinking or feeding for animals to increase the animal survival rate and gain illegal profits.

However, this illegal behavior can lead to drug residues in animals, where clarithromycin accumulates in large quantities. These drugs will accumulate in people's bodies, who eat these animals. Long-term continuous intake of clarithromycin could cause nausea, heartburn, abdominal pain, diarrhea and headache. It also causes drug fever, drug eruption, urticaria and other allergic reactions In addition, it has side effect on the central nervous system seriously endangering human health. Therefore, we urgently need to find a highly specific and sensitive method to detect clarithromycin residues in food.

At present, the detection methods of clarithromycin are mainly Gas Chromatography (GC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). However, these methods require expensive instruments, professional operators, and complex pretreatment of samples, which would cause high cost and time-consuming, which is hard to realize rapid detection of a large number of samples. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a rapid and simple detection method.

Enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) is a kind of extremely efficient, sensitive and rapid detection methods, which has lower requirements for the purity of the sample and easy to operate, being suitable for spot rapid diagnosis with a large number of samples, however, the premise of using enzyme-linked immunoassay detection is that the monoclonal antibody is available, which has high specificity and sensitivity to clarithromycin. Therefore, it is very important to find a method to prepare monoclonal antibody with high specificity and sensitivity to clarithromycin.

The inventor tried to prepare the clarithromycin monoclonal antibody through the hybrid tumor cells. However, in the process of preparing hybrid tumor cell lines which has capable of secreting clarithromycin monoclonal antibodies, it is needed to further study that how to prepare clarithromycin complete antigen and establish mouse immunity, it is needed to be further verified that whether the prepared hybrid tumor cell line can secrete clarithromycin monoclonal antibody, the specificity and sensitivity of the clarithromycin monoclonal antibody are also needed to be further verified.

Preparation of Hybrid Tumor Cell Lines that Secrete Clarithromycin Monoclonal Antibodies

1. Animal Immunization

Healthy Balb/C mice aged 6-8 weeks were selected for immunization. The obtained clarithromycin complete antigen was mixed with the same amount of oil agent, adding the emulsifier, and then the incomplete freund's adjuvant was obtained. Complete freund's adjuvant was obtained by adding mycobacterium into incomplete freund's adjuvant. The obtained freund's adjuvant was injected subcutaneously into the back to immunize BALB/c mice for several times. The first immunization was performed with complete freund's adjuvant, the second booster immunization was performed with the indeterminate freund's adjuvant, and 7th day after the third immunization was finish. The blood of mice was collected, the serum immune titer and immunosuppression ability of mice were detected by indirect ELISA, and selecting immunized mice with high serum levels of clarithromycin antibodies. The two more booster immunization was performed with incomplete Freund's adjuvant in the selected mice. Then the clarithromycin complete antigen without adjuvant was used for rush immunization by intraperitoneal injection were immunized with clarithromycin complete antigen without adjuvant. No adjuvant was used, and intraperitoneal injection was used (the interval between booster immunization was 21 days, the interval between booster immunization and rush immunization was 18 days, the dose of the first immunization was 100 μg/mouse, the dose of the booster immunization was 50 μg/mouse, the dose of the rush immunization was 25 μg/mouse).

Measuring the serum of mice immunized at 3, 4 and 5 times, the results showed that when the serum was diluted 3000 times and the clarithromycin was added with 10 ng/mL, OD450 nm was 1.405, 1.785 and 2.012 respectively, the inhibition rate was 55%, 68% and 78% respectively, which meant the higher efficiency and inhibition rate can be obtained by increasing the number of immunization times.

1. Cell Fusion

After 3 days of shock immunity, cell fusion was performed by PEG (polyethylene glycol, with a molecular weight of 1500). The steps are as follows:

(1) After mice were killed by cervical dislocation, their eyeball blood was picked and soaked immediately in 75% alcohol disinfection about 5 min. The spleen of the mice was taken out by aseptic operating, grinded moderately by the glue head of the syringe and gotten the splenocyte suspension through 200 mesh cell screen. And the splenocyte suspension was collected and centrifuged (1200 RPM, 8 min). And then washing spleen cells three times with RPMI-1640 medium, after the last time the centrifugal, spleen cells were diluted to a certain volume, count, and standby application.

Collect sp2/0 cells: Sp2/0 tumor cells were cultured in 5% CO₂ culture box with RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum) between 7 and 10 days before fusion. Before fusion, the number of sp2/0 tumor cells was required to reach 1-4×10⁷, ensuring that sp2/0 tumor cells were in the logarithmic growth stage. At the time of fusion, tumor cells were collected and suspended in rpm-1640 basic medium for cell counting.

The fusion process lasted for 7 min. During the first min. 1 mL of PEG1500 was added to the cells from slow to fast. For the second minute, there was stewing. For the three and four minutes, culture medium of 1 ml RPMI-1640 was added within 1 min. For the five and six minutes, Culture medium of 2 m RPMI-1640 was added within 1 min. For the seven minute, 1 mL rpm-1640 culture medium was added every 10 s. Then the cells were under warm bath at 37° C. 5 min, abandoned supernatant through centrifugation (800 rpm, 8 min), resuspended with 20% fetal bovine serum. And then 2% of the 50×HAT RPMI-1640 filter medium added to 96 hole cell plate according to the 200 μL/hole, at 37° C. and 5% CO₂ incubator to cultivate.

1. Cell Screening and Cell Line Establishment

On the third day of cell fusion, the fusion cells were partially replaced with the rpm-1640 screening medium, and on the fifth day, the cells were fully replaced with the rpm-1640 transition medium containing 20% fetal bovine serum and 1% 100 ×HT, and the supernatant was taken on the seventh day for screening.

Screening is divided into two steps: the first step was to screen out the positive cells by indirect ELISA; in the second step, clarithromycin was selected as the standard product, and the inhibitory effect of positive cells was measured by indirect competitive ELISA. Cell pores that had good inhibition on all clarithromycin standard products were selected, and subclone was conducted by finite dilution method. The same method was used for detection, and the cell lines were obtained after repeated for three times.

Cryopreservation of Cell Line

This cell line called monoclonal antibodies had been deposited with the general microbiological center of the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center under Accession Number CGMCC No. 14696 at Sep. 5, 2017.
